Figure 11.6.: Doom
This is the famous Doom game.
Getting started
For the game to run you need
.wad
game files located in
/.rockbox/doom/
on your
player. Create the directory and save the following files there:
rockdoom.wad.
The Rockbox
.wad
, based on
prboom.wad
from prboom-2.2.6
Your wad files.
Copy all Doom wads you wish to play into that directory.
The needed files can be found at

To play addon wads create the
addons
directory within the doom directory. Place
wad
files in this directory. Currently doom only supports a maximum number of 10 addons.
A free alternative for Doom 2 is FreeDoom (
http://freedoom.sourceforge.net
). This
can be used in place of
doom2.wad
, or it may be used as an addon in Doom, by placing
it in the
addons
directory.
